“Kooning wins on location in George Town, placing you amidst the action, but still offering quiet and cozy rooms; the stylish design, incorporating local talent, impressed me, especially considering the fair rates. The provision of water coolers on each floor is thoughtful. If you appreciate a blend of heritage and modern convenience, I'd say this is a great pick.”
